A/N: I have come to realize that this story doesn't show what direction it is gong in. In this chapter I will be trying to show what Heart's overall goal will be. Sorry for not making this clear in previous chapters as I should have. Also, chapter 4 was the day after chapter 3. Don't forget to review J

Chapter 5: Heart's goal.

'I hope Twilight says yes to my proposition. Momma said I could meet Twilight ever other day after school. If Twilight says yes I should be able to come three times a week. That means I will learn three times as fast! This will be great!'

Heart's Vision couldn't contain his excitement. He started running to the library. As soon as he arrived he hit the door three times in rapid succession. Spike opened the door. He said nothing as he gestured for the colt to come in. Heart looked around at the library wondering how many of the books held knowledge about magic. "Where is Twilight?"

Before Spike could answer could answer the missing mare appeared from kitchen. "You came early."

"Well I had something to ask you before we get started."

"What do you want to ask me?"

"I already asked my mom and she said yes. I wanted to know if we could increase how often I come here. I was thinking about coming here every other day of the week."

Twilight thought for a minute. "How would that work? Don't you have school and there isn't enough days in a week for it to work out."

"We could do it after. I could come Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, and we can skip Friday."

"I guess that would work but we wouldn't have as much time on the week days."

"That is alright. I will be happy as long as we learn something."

"Ok I can do that. Come here after school and I will do my best to teach you something."

"This is great! I can't wait tell Monday." Heart hopped up and down.

Twilight put a hoof on the hyper child. "Calm down. We still have things to learn today."

Heart instantly stopped and saluted Twilight. "Yes ma'am. Ready to learn all you can teach me."

Twilight giggled at the silly unicorn. "Ok but first I need to see how much you have improved over the week. You have been practicing haven't you?"

"Of course I have, Let me show you." Heart took a stance facing the fire place. He concentrated on the logs. It took a few seconds for them to heat up put a small flame ignited the one on top. "See I have been practicing."

Twilight witnessed her students progress but that was not all she taught him. "How about its other form?"

"I can do that one too." Heart's horn started to emit heat. It warmed the room.

The heat was so intense that Twilight had to cover her face with her foreleg. "Stop Heart. You are making it too strong."

The colt stopped. "I was simply showing you how much I improved."

"I have already told you to be careful. If you make that spell too intense it can hurt you."

"I would notice it hurting me wouldn't I?"

"Not necessarily. To prove my point touch your forehead."

"What will that prove?" Heart touched his forehead with his left fore hoof. As soon as he touched it he had to pull back from how hot it was. "How did I not feel it?"

"You were so focused on casting the spell you didn't notice at first and when you got to the point where you could notice you had damaged your pain receptors where you couldn't feel it anymore. I am going to cast a healing spell on you. Sit still." Twilight pointed her horn,. It began to glow and Heart regained feeling. He noticed the heat.

Heart hadn't thought about healing spells until now. "Can you teach me a healing spell?"

"Yeah but they are hard to learn. You have to know anatomy. I can teach you but it will take a lot of time. It isn't like the spells I have taught you. You will have to have to learn everything about pony anatomy before I will let you attempt it."

"Can I use it to heal myself?"

"Yeah but as I said I will not let you attempt it until you learn how the body works."

"I want to learn it. I will learn how the body works and I learn it."

"I can give you some books but we don't have time for you to learn it. Read the books in your free time and when you think your ready I will test you. If you pass then I will teach you the spell. Until that time we will continue to learn basic spells."

Heart wasn't content with the offer she had given but knew better than to push it. "Ok, what spell will we learn today?"

"I was thinking I could teach you a detection spell."

"What kind of detection spell?"

"Well most are the same. All you have to do is analyze a copy of whatever you want to find. You can find nearly anything this way. It is based on what the object is made of so with some practice you can find all sorts of things. The down fall is that there is a short range on the spell. Now I want you to…"

Heart finished up Twilight's lesson. Twilight went upstairs to get Spike after giving Heart the book on pony anatomy. While Twilight was upstairs Heart searched the books on the shelves. He found the book he was looking for. "Healing spells and you." He took it and left.

Shortly after Twilight came down stairs with Spike. "He is such a gifted student. I haven't ever heard of any pony with his natural ability with magic. He might be better than me."

"No pony is better than you Twilight. You are the element of magic. How could he compare to you?"

"I may be the element of magic but that doesn't mean I am the best at it. Take princess Celestia for example. She knows so much more about magic than I do."

"But she has been around for like ever."

"I can't put my hoof on it but there is something different about Heart's Vision. He isn't just gifted in magic, there is something more to it."

Heart dropped the books off at his house. He told Rose Spade that he was going to look for the other Cutie Mark Crusaders. He tried their headquarters first. He found Apple Bloom and Scootaloo inside looking at a rough map of ponyville. Heart was not detected opening the door. "What you two up to?"

Scootaloo was the first to turn and face him. She gave him an extra big smile. "Hey HV. We are just trying to come up with ideas to get our cutie marks. Want to join us?"

"I didn't come all the way out here for nothing. Have you thought of anything yet?"

"Not really. There isn't much we haven't done already."

"We don't have to always search for our cutie marks. We can do other things you know."

"But if we do other things we won't get our cutie marks."

"Do you really want your cutie mark that bad?"

Scootaloo looked at Heart as if he was crazy. "YEAH!"

"Why do you want it so much? What will your cutie mark give you that is so important?"

"It is your cutie mark! What could be more important? It is what makes you special."

Heart shook his head. "No. Your cutie mark doesn't make you special. You are what makes your cutie mark special. It is only a mark. Without you it is nothing. Without it you are just as special. The cutie mark shows what you know in your heart. What you have discovered about yourself. No amount of odd jobs will help you find it. You will find it when the time is right. When you have found that one special thing that makes you unique."

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom stared at the colt. Five seconds passed before Apple Bloom broke the silence. "Do you have this stuff written down somewhere? Cause you are starting to weird me out."

Scootaloo thought a little differently. "I thought it was cool. I think you have to be a the second coolest pony in Ponyville."

Heart liked the complement but was curious. "Who is the first?"

"You really don't know? It is Rainbow Dash. She is the coolest pony in all of Equestria. She is just so awesome. She can do all kinds of cool moves. Flips and rolls. She even has a amazing sonic rainboom."

"If you say so Scoot." Heart changed the subject because he felt Scootaloo might not stop if he didn't. "Where is Sweetie Belle?"

Apple Bloom answered. "She is with Rarity helping her make dresses. She won't be joining us today."

"Well that is too bad. What do you want to do."

"We could play hide and seek."

"Sounds good to me."

The CMC spent the day playing games together. They played until the sun began to set. Apple Bloom didn't have to walk far to get home but Scootaloo and Heart's Vision had a decent walk to get home.

Heart looked around and noticed something was missing. "Hey Scoot where is your scooter?"

Scootaloo looked a little disappointed. "One of the wheels broke and I had to get it fixed. Luckily the pony I brought it to said he would do it for free but it would take him a day. I have to go pick it up tomorrow."

"That sucks but at least you don't have to pay for it."

"Yeah that's true."

"I guess I will see you tomorrow." Heart turned and started walking home.

Scootaloo put a hoof out. "Wait."

The colt faced her. "What?"

Scootaloo lost her confidence and began to play in the dirt with her hoof. "We don't have to split up. I actually don't live that far from you. I was thinking we could walk together."

Heart thought the usually loud and assertive pony was acting odd but saw no harm in walking together. "Sure. We can walk together. It is always nicer having company."

The orange filly retuned to her usual happy state. "Great. Let's get going." The young ponies began their walk home. It was silent for a while before Scootaloo broke it. "I thought it was really cool the way you stopped Sweetie Belle from falling last week."

Heart blew it off. "It was nothing. I did what had to be done, nothing more."

"But she could have been hurt if it wasn't for you."

"I felt that I had to. It wasn't a choice."

"Did you do me that favor because you felt you had to?"

"No. I did that because it made you happy."

"Would you do it again?"

Heart stopped. "Do you want me to?"

"If you wouldn't mind."

The unicorn smiled as he picked Scootaloo up with his magic. "You are a sneaky filly. You know that?"

The Pegasus lit up. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Heart walked along the road with Scootaloo orbiting above him. Scootaloo even let out the occasional wee or yippee.

Scootaloo let Heart know to stop. "Put me down HV. This is my house."

Heart put her down. He turned to the home. It wasn't a lot to look at but was a nice home. The only problem with it wasn't visual. It was the sounds coming from the home. Two voices could be heard. One male and the other female. Something that both small ponies where familiar with.

"This is where we part ways. See you at school tomorrow." Scootaloo began heading for the front door.

Heart used his magic to grab her and turn her around. "No. Come with me."

Scootaoo was shocked by his actions. "But I have to go home. I could get in trouble."

"Don't worry about it. Everything will be alright. Just follow me." Heart put her down and began walking away from the house. He stopped and sat in some grass when he was far enough to not hear the screaming unless he tried to hear it.

Scootaloo sat next to him. "They do this a lot now."

Heart didn't want to stay on the subject but had to say something. "Don't worry about it. There is nothing you can do about it."

"Sometimes I hear them say my name. I don't know what they say but I know they talk about me."

"It is not your fault. You haven't done anything wrong. Grown ups sometimes just fight for silly reasons. Know that it isn't your fault."

Both ponies looked at each other. Scootaloo's eyes started to water. "But they have been looking at me differently lately."

"It isn't your fault. Say it. Say it isn't your fault."

"It isn't my fault."

Heart tried to keep her mind off of it. "Who is Rainbow Dash?"

Scootaloo was not her usual self. She talked low. "She is the best flyer in Equestria."

"What does she look like?"

"She is light blue with a rainbow mane."

"I bet that looks cool while she flies."

"It totally does. She has all kinds of tricks too."

"What kind of tricks?"

Scootaloo and Heart's Vision sat and talked about Rainbow Dash's stunts. She even told him in great detail about the sonic rainboom. After about twenty minutes the yelling in the house had stopped. "I think you can go in now."

"Yeah they have stopped now." Scootaloo stood up and started walking but didn't get far before turning to Heart. "Thank you for helping me. You are a great friend."

"I will always help a friend in need. Don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything."

"I will" Scootaloo turned and went into her home."

Heart was left alone and headed to his house. The walk gave him a little time to think to himself. 'I am glad I was able to help Scoot. It feels good to help another pony. Why do other ponies hurt each other? Strong ponies need to stand up for the weak.' Heart came to a realization. 'That's it. I will become stronger and help every pony. I will make every pony happy. I not let any pony get hurt any more. I will be strong for every pony.'
